		<p>The container classes permit multiple threads to
		  simultaneously invoke certain methods on the same container. 
		</p>
 
		<p>Like STL, Intel&reg; Threading Building Blocks (Intel&reg;
		  TBB) containers are templated with respect to an 
		  <samp class="codeph">allocator</samp> argument. Each container uses its 
		  <samp class="codeph">allocator</samp> to allocate memory for user-visible items. A
		  container may use a different allocator for strictly internal structures.
